Where to kayak in and around Kaunas
Kaunas has one of the best water sports infrastructures in Lithuania thanks to the Nemunas, the confluence with the Neris and the Kaunas Reservoir.
The Nemunas in Kaunas
The Nemunas from the Kaunas Reservoir dam to the center is one of the most popular paddling stretches in Lithuania. A calm flow, beautiful banks and convenient infrastructure. You can paddle either a kayak or a SUP board. The distance from Lampėdžiai beach to Santaka Park is about 7 km.
Kaunas Reservoir
The largest artificial body of water in Lithuania. Great for longer kayak trips. For SUP boards we recommend the calm bays and shorelines, as there can be waves in the open areas. A real paradise for anglers: pike, zander and perch.
The Nemunas and Neris confluence
The place where Kaunas's two biggest rivers meet. Santaka Park offers easy access to the water. From here you can paddle down the Nemunas or up the Neris. The short routes also suit an hour on the water after work.
Lampėdžiai beach
One of the most convenient places to start paddling in Kaunas. A spacious beach, good facilities and a shallow shoreline suitable for SUP beginners. From here it is easy to paddle along the Nemunas to the center or upstream toward the reservoir.
Which kayak or SUP board to choose
For the Kaunas Reservoir and the Nemunas we recommend stable touring or fishing kayaks. SUP paddle boards are great for paddling on the Nemunas and in the calmer parts of the reservoir. If you plan to fish the Kaunas Reservoir, see our fishing kayak range.
